Denis Lupton should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
BT10

It's interesting how some car's can be successful over a period,even in different formula. The work's BT10's, F2-1-64 and F2-2-64,very competitive
in 1964,also F2-7-64, the Coombes/Graham Hill car, were obtained by Charles
Lucas,less engines and gearboxes,for 1965. But instead of the original F2 class usage,the 3 cars were now destined to race in F3.Looking at the records of the '65 season,they were very competitive,with Piers Courage,
Jonathan Williams,Peter Gethin,and Charlie Lucas himself steering the cars to a very successful season. Obviously,good mechanic's, thoughtful preparation,
and being well driven,play a large part,but try to find many other car's that make a successful transition to another Formula,and still be at the pointy end of the new Formula,and the BT10's are in a select group.
I wonder where they all are now?
